xor can only return true (1) or false ('' - empty string) and must evaluate both the lhs and the rhs expressions to determine the result. true xor true is false so you got back an empty string.
and and or short circuit evaluate and return the last expression evaluated.
use strict;
use warnings;
print "$_->[0]: [$_->[1]]\n" for map {[$_, eval]}
'0 and 1',
'2 and 0',
'3 and 4',
'0 or 5',
'6 or 0',
'7 or 8',
'0 xor 9',
'10 xor 0',
'11 xor 12',
'0 xor 0',

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
